Ain't gonna happen unless we have a civil war and decapitate the oil barons. The Arab Sheiks and wealthy western oil corporate elite will kill any practical incentive - nuclear and coal power. They already allowed the lunatic fringe to kill nuclear.
Look at the way oil companies are now promoting themselves as environmentally friendly with their new green processing technologies. They will sit by and watch idiots try to develop impractical solar and wind power. While posturing themselves as environmentally friendly, they will direct the lunatic fringe to go after real competitors like coal and nuclear. Nuclear is dangerous. Coal is sooty, it kills mother earth because of strip mining. The older I get, the more clear the wealthy elite play the greenies as useful idiots. The elite (New World Order types) are sticking with oil. Remember James Baker. He said we went to war in 1991 over oil before his buddies told him to shut his mouth. He is fishing buddies with Bush the Elder who is the father of Bush the Younger.
And if Americans get concerned and start driving more fuel efficient cars, the Bushes will call for more Mexicans to increase the pool of poor drivers using gas guzzling old cars. The oil barons have lots of money on their side.

US oil companies are a mere shadow of the companies we knew 35 years. They don’t have the money power and influence they used to.
On the other hand US technology is moving five times faster than it was 35 years ago. There’ll be more scientific and technological change in the next 20 years than in all of the last 120 years put together.
No use calling a ring tailed monkey a boll weavel.
